​

Hannah is a keen choreographer whose perception of intellectual ideas in communication theory shapes her movement invention and quality. As a woman whose truest identity lies in her faith in Jesus Christ, her work in intrinsically Christian. Her belief that humans were created for community, relationship, and intimacy informs her movement and choreography. Her works have been performed in concerts and festivals in Tampa and Atlanta. 

​

Her extensive knowledge in both communication and movement theory allows her to express the relationship between the intellectual and artistic through dance performance. Armed with a BFA in Modern Dance Performance and a BA in Communication, Hannah hopes to continue to make work that challenges the mind, body, and soul in the Tampa Bay area in her own dance company.
